Woooo, Liverpool are signing ANOTHER Right Back :|

Never heard of Josemi, but he might be good....right? On the plus side, it would free-up Carragher's move to centre back

At least you beat Celtic 5-1 :eek:

Fulham have signed Pape Bouba Diop, good move again for them.

Can't say I am too sad about Butt leaving

Fulham have signed some good players. I think they are going to have another good season, as will Middlesborough. Just watched Sky Sports News and the players they have signed are quality and they have gotten rid of Ricketts.

:cool: it took some doing but we finally rolled ricketts down the A1 and left him in leeds!

think fulham will be a surprise package again this year! hopefully we will have a good season, dont know how we are going to play tho. i think mclaren will go 4-4-2 with Schwartzer, Reizeger, Southgate, Ugo, Quadroe' at the back. Then will have Parlour, Mendieta, Boatang, Zenden (if signs) in midfield with Viduka & Hassilbaink up front.

I wouldnt play this as with 2 forwards capeable of scoring goals, i would play Juninho just behind them, a) this is his best position, b) he will score more goals from here & c) he will make more goals from here. I would drop parlour to the bench to play the little fella or if zenden doesnt sign play him.

Juninho is the man and needs to be in the team if we want to succeed!

According to reports in Spain, Vieira has agreed terms with Real Madrid

I'm not gutted, but it really is coming to the end of an era for Utd.

That and I'll always remember the reserve match, way back when he was like 18 and i was about 8, when he belted the ball over the fence at gigg lane and smacked the middle aged woman just across from me in the face with it. She was talking to her friend about the inane pointless shit women seem to talk about, and it was awesome. The best thing was you could see he was trying to hold back his laughter as he asked for the ball back.

Nicky Butt, I salute you :'(

If Vieira goes to Real Madrid, Arsenal will have no chance of winning the Premiership. If Vieira goes, Chelsea will become the favourites to win the Premiership.

Marco Van Basten got the Holland job today.

Vieira didn't even play for large stretches of last season. He has been struggling with injuries for the past two years.

Thierry Henry is more important to them. Robert Pires too, when he shows the form he did last season.

If Freddy Ljungberg finds his form again, they'll be pretty much unstoppable again.

I'd take £30 million for Vieira at his age, and considering his recent injury proneness. Edu and Lauren could easily step into central midfield.

Vieira's the best at what he does but i agree with ECG about taking £30 million, with that Wenger can buy a good replacement and he rarely gets it wrong in the transfer market.

I saw the main linked replacement was Maniche, which could work as, even though he's more attack minded, they'd still be Gilberto there (most likely) to help balance it out.

Anyway champions league third qualifying round draw today (the one with Man Utd and Liverpool in).

Also, we've signed Joey Gudjonsson and Chris Makin.

Not a lot of Boro News Lately aside from we beat Notts Forest 4 - 1 in a friendly the other day. Hasseilbaink got two

Vieira is already heading down the Roy Keane road of spending more and more time injured. He has a very troublesome knee injury that doesn't look as if it will ever clear up. He'll be struggling within a couple of years to keep the pace.

I don't think he has the big match mentality, either. If Vieira was half the captain people say he is, he would have had Arsenal winning important Champions League ties by now. Talented player, but I'd always pick Roy Keane ahead of him.

The big match thing is a fair point...I don't think Vieira would have been able to drag Man U through against Juventus like Keane back in '99.

I think we should run a book on which club is going to be the next Leeds.

Greening signed with West Brom for 1.25 million pounds.
I'd have to say that that is one of the best transfers yet. I believe Greening is underated and I still can't believe he didn't get a chance at Middlesborough even after he won their best and fairest.

Or drag the Republic of Ireland through a WC qualifying group that included Holland and Portugal, with some distinctly average players playing alongside him.

he did get a chance, first season he was average, second got player of the year and was apparently on fringes of england squad ( he did get called up for a training session) third season he didnt get a chance, when he did, he didnt do anything.

he is best in central midfield yet mclaren kept playing him on the wing.

greening will annoy you tho, if played on left wing,he will always cut back on his right before crossing and vis versa on the other side.

he has good energy and wont let you down, shame he's gone as was a good squad player to call on for us. o well we cam always call on 'the next roy keane' in mark wilson! :$

Great point. I'm not Keane's biggest fan (mainly attitude) but there aren't many captains who control a locker room like he does.

Jesus H Christ Rob, are you sure you're a united fan?

Why?

Nathan Blake and Mark Burchill are training with us.

Burchill is all potential and no ambition. If he did then he'd be one of the best strikers out there.

He's came to the right club then (if he signs).

My team Crystal Palace:nono:

BRILLIANT

Because we've got the Indian champions in our tournament this weekend it's being shown on an Asian channel on Sky, channel 829 :cool:

Ahahahahahahahaha

Now he's left his trial at Sunderland the local paper says he could be joining us :$ :'( !!!

1 more week to the new season for us coca cola league clubs' fans :cool:

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha

1 week til we demolish Stoke :cool:

Yeah he's joined :'(

Can't be mad at you after the Fantasy Football DVD :love:

QPR 3 Crystal Palace 0 :wtf::nono:

:lol:

Leicester are buying everyone we show a slight interest in. Cunning little foxes.

First it was alright but the quality of whichever player you look at has gone down, next you'll probably look at some really bad league two player (or Michael Oakes ssssss) just to get us to buy him and look crap :(

Who needs Super Michael Oakes when you have Ian 'Blind' Walker :roll: :rant:

sunderland should do boro a favour and take downing and christie on loan either till christmas or for season. this would give them match fitness and also experience (for downing). christie would do a good job up front for you!

Christie couldn't do a good job washing his dads car for a tenner lol

Amyone see the Kezman/Dacourt thing. It reminded me of how much I hate Dacourt, mainly for his kick at Robben but his reaction took the piss.

Jesus, whats going on, Gudjohnsen scored for Chelsea, and then Cafu scored one hell of a goal, hit it first time from the corner of the box, great goal.

Dunno if any of you lads have mentioned this already, but Australian defender Craig Moore looks set to become the millionth (:roll: ) Australian to play in the Premier League, with Blackburn about to sign him. He'll join Australians Lucas Neil and Brett Emerton at the club. The fucking twats at Rangers stripped Moore of the captaincy then gave him the arse, all because he wanted to play for Australia at the Olympics. :nono:

Speaking of the Olympics, a friend of mine asked me if there will be an English, Scottish, etc side in the Olympics football or whether it will be a Great Britain side with a combination of all you British guys. I have no idea, anyone know?
